Spartan GW 300mW vs 150mW Bluray: match-lighting contest

[videoclip425]

LOL that is NOT 350mW of green or 150mW of 405nm!

[amnizu]

I've got a laser power meter to prove it so I don't much care what you do or do not believe about this video

[videoclip425]

LOL so do I laserbee 1.1W.... My 130mW PHR lights 'em faster, and 350mW of green lights sharpied matches WAY faster!! I got my trusty RPL 350 for that!

Out of curiosity, what LPM do you use?

[amnizu]

I've got one of the original Kenometers with the Coherent 3W thermal sensor head. The reason they matches didn't light very fast with the bluray is I fucked up the focusing and I have shaky hands so even when I got it right I still had to hold it steady and the Spartan has a crappy beam diameter but plenty of power

[diegoribadacunha]

but when burning black stuff, the wavelength doesn´t matter anymore.

[Ninjaz27]

of course the spartan wins, cause its 2x the power of the blu ray one

[amnizu]

sure but it doesn't fit in your pocket

[maxkillz2]

because of it's super short wavelength and it's much better focused than the green. I have a green that can light white matches though =P

[starsoffyre]

The wavelength plays a small role in the speed it takes to light matches. What causes the most difference is the beam diameter/divergence.

How Does The Blu-Ray Light WHIGHT Matches @ Only ~150mW?

[cbrian4]

Its all about color absorption, green light is absorbed very well into red objects. White just happens to be the color that absorbs blu ray. Just think of your skin, its white until it gets tanned by the sun. Blu-ray laser burn skin extremely well because its focused near-uv light.

same way you can burn through white printer papaer with a 120mW blu-ray but can't do anything to it with a 250mW red laser.
